Well if that statement of faith is accurate then I sure feel like a big dumby for even asking about them. But from an online search I could only confirm a few of them.
I was surprised to learn that they still believe Jesus is the only way to the Father and salvation. So it seems feasible that they could "accept" Christ as Lord without fully accepting His divine nature. But then you would have to re-interpret John-3:16 to make this possible.
And to say they don't believe in Hell as in eternal suffering is not far from what many Christians are leaning towards these days. I personally believe the lost will simply be blotted out at the Judgement as if they never existed,then thrown in the Lake of Fire.
Jesus also spoke of an "outer darkness" similar to how writers of the Old Testament spoke of the "grave" or "Sheol" as a place utter dark nothingness.
But their are too many other oddball beliefs there and to say only a JW can be "saved" is just downright wacky!
But one thing we can agree on is they are very secretive to say the least.
I recently called up a few in my area and didn't even get an answering machine,and they don't even have their service times posted.
I have a good mind to show up at one of their "public meetings" unannounced just to show them a true believer is not intimidated by them. Besides,if they can come knock on our doors uninvited shouldn't we be able to do the same in return?? Imagine if we all started to do this and told them we would stop if they did first!
I guess it would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
I think these people could be seriously messed up in their minds,and I don't mean to spout conspiracy theories,but it wouldn't surprise me if they were blowing strange substances through the AC ducts at their public gatherings...unbeknownst to the congregation.
At least it would explain why there in such a good mood all the time.
Nice people maybe,but a bit too nice if you catch my drift.
Just my observations...

So, who are you and I to Judge God's Creations which He has called 'Good' as though they will be condemned without a fair assessment of Scripture regarding the Fruits evident from The Presence of God's Works in someone life? For God knows what He put in a person. It is The Father's Garden and HE will prune it and tend as HE sees fit. If He wants to recreate you and offer you by Grace through Faith on Christ found in Holy Gospel of God, all the more are we a People who can be the Most Benefitted. For we are now of The City New Jerusalem of The Holy Chosen People of God. For it is written: when gentiles do things of the law of Moses, God put directly into them in accordance with what is written in The Prophets. Now there are many cities, but this is the Most Treasured Offering Imaginable for humans. The Holy Apostles were counted worthy of suffering for The Name of Jesus Christ and were overjoyed at the Marvelous Opportunity that they were given. For they are Martyrs and Will Reign with Christ in Jerusalem for one thousand years.
cybrjewls:
Stringing partial biblical sentences together doesnt prove your point. In all seriousness you cannot make love drown truth nor can you make the grace of God the handmaid of falsehood. But from what Ive read evasion and rhetoric surrounded by a head-spinning diatribe works wonders for giving an appearance of spiritual truth...at least you seem to think so.
John

Two choices--believe it or blot it out of your Bible.
